Meet Christine Kisser | Professional Dog Trainer in Maple Ridge & Greater Vancouver BC
If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior — or want real, lasting results — you’re in the right place.
Christine Kisser is the founder of Ruffdog Sports and a professional dog trainer with over 30 years of experience helping dogs and their owners succeed — from family pets to world-level competition dogs.
This isn’t generic dog training.
Christine works with:
- Dogs that don’t listen
- High-energy or difficult dogs
- Owners who are frustrated and need real solutions
Proven Results at the Highest Level
- 30+ years of professional dog training experience
- World Championship competitor in IGP
- National-level results in both Canada and the USA
- Extensive experience with high-drive and complex dogs
👉 Very few trainers in the Vancouver area bring this level of hands-on experience.
Working with Christine to train your dog means:
- A dog that listens consistently — not just sometimes
- Calm, controlled behavior at home and in public
- Clear expectations your dog understands
- Faster progress with fewer setbacks
This is where most training programs fall short — and where Ruffdog stands apart.
Christine works with her dog training clients across:
Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Mission, Langley, Abbotsford, Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Greater Vancouver including North and West Vancouver
Christine is known for her ability to:
- Read dogs quickly and accurately
- Adapt training to each dog and handler
- Explain training in a clear, practical way
Her goal is not just to coach you and train your dog in a clear, balanced obedience style — but to help owners build a strong, reliable relationship with their dog.
